Dear friends,
It’s now shockingly clear that Donald Trump is Putin’s poodle.
But we need the world to understand why, before it’s too late…Trump's businesses went bankrupt so many times in the 1990s that many legitimate banks wouldn’t lend to him anymore. He turned to Russian oligarchs -- Putin’s ruling clique -- to bankroll his projects, and launder their dirty money for them. This was, and continues to be, a huge part of his business. He’s a Russian money launderer.
"We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia."

Here are 5 more top facts everyone should know about Trump's long collusion with Russian organised criminals -- forward this email and share it on Facebook -- we all deserve to know the truth:

Trump’s main financial backer
for the Trump Tower Toronto was a Russian-Canadian billionaire who got
the money by selling a massive steel mill in Ukraine for nearly a
billion dollars. $100 million of that money was paid to a Kremlin-backed
fixer, likely as a bribe to VERY high Russian officials. The Chairman
of the Bank who financed the deal? Vladimir Putin.2
Trump bought his home in Palm Beach, Florida for $41
million. A few years later, with no real increase in the value -- he
sold it for $95 million -- the most expensive home in America at the
time! Why? A major Russian oligarch bought it -- we don’t know yet why he effectively ‘gave’ Trump $54 million. But it’s classic money laundering practice.

Trump's real estate deals were often fuelled by Russian money, typically passed through shady shell companies. 77% of Trump Soho apartments were bought with cash by such mysterious companies. At least 13 people with links to Russian oligarchs or mobsters lived in Trump properties, including one of Russia's top mobsters. One even ran a high-stakes illegal gambling ring in the apartment right below Trump's!

Trump’s financial broker and “Senior Advisor” was a Russian convicted felon named Felix Sater,
widely known as a mafia figure who once stabbed someone in the face
with a broken margarita glass, requiring over 100 stitches. Sater helped
set up shell companies, and arranged funding for Trump’s projects,
including plans for Trump Tower Moscow. He’s also part of Putin’s inner
circle. Here’s one email he wrote to Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen in
November, 2015:
"Michael
I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putins private chair at his desk and
office in the Kremlin. I will get Putin on this program and we will get
Donald elected. We both know no one else knows how to pull this off
without stupidity or greed getting in the way. I know how to play it and
we will get this done. Buddy our boy can become President of the USA
and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this,
I will."

Trump’s other main business is casinos -- which are classic money laundering vehicles. One of his casinos was 100 times found in violation of federal rules protecting against money laundering, and paid the largest fine
ever levied against a casino for having “willfully violated” anti-money
laundering rules. Trump has a legal obligation to do “due diligence”
for all his businesses to prevent laundering. His senior executive’s
comment on this was “Donald doesn’t do diligence”.
The Big Picture
Putin is a former KGB officer who has used chemical weapons, assassinated people in other countries, invaded the Ukraine, occupied Crimea, shot down the MH17 airliner with almost 300 passengers on board, aided a murderous regime in Syria, condoned the beating and torture of gays, stolen up to $200 billion from his own people, hacked foreign elections and launched what NATO calls the largest hybrid warfare campaign in history to undermine western liberal democracies. He is also widely believed to have ordered the murder of Russian journalists and critics, and bombed hundreds of Russian civilians to fake a terrorist attack and justify a war in Chechnya.
Yet when asked at their press conference
if Trump had any criticism of Putin, he had none, and ridiculed US law
enforcement for investigating Russian attacks on US democracy!
Trump *may* be a Russian intelligence asset, he *may* have colluded with Putin to sabotage the US election. But what is clear is that he is a corrupt Russian money launderer, in the pocket of a KGB dictator. The whole world needs to know this, and rally together to prevent the damage this corrupt alliance threatens. Share this email with everyone…
